Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Looking back at Star Wars: The Force Awakens after Carrie Fisher’s death is bittersweet, especially when you see her interact albeit briefly with her daughter, Billie Lourd. The Scream Queens alum made her acting debut in J.J. Abrams’ movie as Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix, and wore her hair in two buns in what seemed like a nod to her mother’s Star Wars ’do. (And that’s actually rather poetic, since A New Hope was only the second feature film Fisher starred in.) But Lourd says she originally read for a different role at the behest of the director, who is now set to make his return to the franchise with Episode IX.
